 On-Line Scheduling with Tight Deadlines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
This paper is concerned with the on-line problem of scheduling jobs with tight deadlines in a uni-processor system.
It has been known for long that in such a setting, no on-line algorithm is 1-competitive (i.e., optimal) in the sense of matching the optimal offline algorithm on the total value of jobs that meet the deadlines; indeed, no algorithm can be better than k-competitive, where k is the importance ratio of the jobs.
This paper presents a new on-line algorithm for scheduling jobs with tight deadlines and shows that it is 1-competitive when using a processor that is only O(1) times faster.
